In this program, you will explore the role of effortlessness in meditation. We often believe that effortful striving is the only way to transform our lives. However, as Mingyur Rinpoche will explain, the path is much more about shifting from our usual mode of doing to one of simply being. Over the course of the weekend, Mingyur Rinpoche will illustrate this topic through the lens of each of the three levels of the Joy of Living training series. This program is open to everyone.

We would love to have you join us for this special Saga Dawa community celebration.

We will then practice this liturgy together, and share aspirations for the world. This is a Buddhist event, but all are welcome. There are no prerequisites for attendance.
